Lower Merion High School Crew

02/28/2026

Right now, our rowers are pulling as hard as they can in a nonstop 90-minute relay on the ergs. Seats are changing. Teammates are cheering. Effort is constant. Every meter is earned, and every stroke is powered by the support of people like you.

Today is our Erg-a-thon. The athletes rowing today represent the heart of Lower Merion Crew. They show grit, teamwork, and resilience. They have trained for months for this moment, and they are rowing not just for performance, but for progress: safer equipment, scholarships, and the purchase of a new eight-person boat that will serve athletes for years to come.

There is still time to make an impact while the event is happening. A gift made this morning directly fuels the program and honors the effort these students are giving right now.

You can donate immediately through our campaign site or support the team by sharing our campaign site link with your network today.

Thank you for supporting our rowers when it counts most! Bit.ly/ergathon26

There’s still time to support our annual Erg-a-thon fundraiser!

In just three days, our rowers will climb onto the ergs and begin a nonstop 90-minute relay; trading seats, digging deep, and pulling together for something bigger than themselves.

Our goal this year is to fund the purchase of an eight-person boat and to continue supporting scholarships, safety equipment, and access for every athlete who wants to row.

Please consider supporting our campaign. https://lower-merion-crew-ergathon-2026.raiselysite.com/

If you've already made a gift and want to extend your impact, you can support the team by sharing our campaign site link with a family member, coworker, or friend. Thank you!
